Journal Problem: Importance of Analysis
Overview: This journal activity is private between you and the instructor.
You learned about active reading and analysis by looking more closely at a selected reading. In doing so, you uncovered ideas in the "Turning Off, Dining In" article that may have been difficult to identify during your literal reading of the text.
To prepare for this problem, re-read your selected article and your notes from Module. Then, using a Word Document, answer the following questions:
a) Discuss the context of your selected article, the author's purpose, and the style and tone. What have you learned from this early analysis?
b) How will a closer analysis of the author's claim and the structure of the writing help you to learn more about your selected reading?
c) Now that you have discussed the author's purpose for writing the selected reading, do you think the author's writing is effective in achieving their purpose? What led you to this conclusion?
The response should include a reference list. Using double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
